Floor tightening - Tokojime
This is a method of land improvement to reduce the permeability of volcanic ash or sandy paddy ground that is prone to leaking, thereby saving water and increasing yields by raising the water and soil temperatures. There are two methods: removing the topsoil, tamping the subsoil, and then laying new topsoil on top, or simply compacting the topsoil.
